Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest - June 19, 2010

The weather Gods were on the side of Cannon Beach for the 2010 Sandcastle Contest. This 46th annual event was a crowd pleaser right out of the gate. Thousands enjoyed a wonderful, sunny day of art in sand Saturday June 19, 2010. At 1pm, 500 cars were parked on the beach stretching from Haystack Rock north to the sculptures. Cars were still coming as others were leaving. Cars had to be off the beach by 4pm to avoid the rising tide. A BBQ at the Chamber and a concert next to it in the Park followed the sculpting.
